Saturday Farmers’ Market Vendor Feature: Blue Valley Farms

This week’s vendor feature is Blue Valley Farms, a family-owned local farm that carries a large variety of high quality, pesticide-free fruits and vegetables. They’ve been farming for over 15 years and they’re a fixture of the UBC Farm Saturday Farmers’ Market at their 10th season here! We were able to talk to Jaymes, and ask her a few quick questions below. If you get the chance, visit this market favourite and check out their delicious fruits and vegetables!

What types of produce do you sell?

Raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, onions, garlic, zucchinis of all sorts, peaches, nectarines, apples, plums, tomatoes, cherries, corn and more. We have a 5-acre farm so we have lots of everything.

How did you get into the farm business?

I married into it. My husband’s family had been doing blueberries for about 40 years and at our farm we’ve been farming for over 15 years now.

Do you have a favourite fruit or vegetable? If so, how do you like to cook it?

I like it all! But maybe broccoli. I like to just steam it on the barbecue.

Where can you be found outside of the UBC Farm Saturday Farmers’ Market?
